My dear Buchan,

So the great Canadian plan has come off! I am delighted about it. I thought two of your speeches in Canada a few months ago quite magnificent - to judge by quotations in the TIMES - and nearly wrote to you to say so but - as usually happens - didn't.

It will be very interesting to you, and I fancy you have felt the special charm of Canada. I do not know the country at all, but have always felt fascinated - and half repelled - by the USA, where once, if you remember, there was a question of my going as Ambassador. I now wish that I had gone, so that we might have exchanged high diplomatic civilities across the border.

Yours ever,

G M.
